Bells and Whistles Announces ‘Wünderbar: An Oktobeerfest Pop-Up’

Vancouver, BC | When the clock strikes midnight in Munich on Friday, September 21 at 3 p.m., the Fraserhood hotspot Bells and Whistles will usher in 17 days of celebrations and transform into a Bavarian-inspired beer hall to host ‘Wünderbar: An Oktobeerfest Pop-Up’ until Sunday, October 7.

Gooseneck Hospitality partners James Iranzad, Josh Pape and Nick Miller and the Bells and Whistles team will mark the restaurant’s first anniversary by inviting guests to hoist a stein and mark the annual beer-centric celebration with Oktoberfest-themed attire, décor and food and drink specials.

At the bar, Bells and Whistles will delight fans of classic German-styled beers such as Dunkel and Hefeweizen by featuring local and import brews like Alberta’s Fahr Brewing Hefeweizen, Vancouver’s Strange Fellows Pilsner, and Oktoberfest beers from Munich’s Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr, Ontario’s Beau’s Brewing, Delta’s Four Winds and New York’s Brooklyn Brewing.

“Oktoberfest is the perfect occasion to tap into some unique beer styles and have a little fun with some homespun German-inspired food specials,” says Iranzad. “This is the exact type of celebration that really captures the casual-dining-and-beer-hall atmosphere we had in mind when we first envisioned this restaurant.”
